In a curious move, current UFC women's Bantamweight titleholder Holly Holm signed a two-year endorsement deal with Hi-Tech, which is a pharmaceutical company that produces supplements carrying an amphetamine-like stimulant called DMAA.
According to USA Today, DMAA was deemed illegal by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as well as the World Anti-Doping Administration (WADA), several years back because of its link to cardiovascular issues. The stimulant promotes weight loss, muscle growth, and overall performance enhancement.
"Preacher's Daughter," who made it to the top of the 135-pound mountain by collapsing previous champion Ronda Rousey back in November, has been involved in combat sports for over a decade and surely knows the risks involved and what partnering up with an illegal supplement manufacturer can do to her image.
